A controversial move by CEO Reed Hastings of Netflix has sent the company stock into a free fall. Netflix (NFLX) seemed to be owning the entertainment content world with streaming movies, TV episodes, and shipping disks straight to your house for around 8 dollars a month. It seemed like almost too good to be true. Obviously it was, with recent price hikes.
